If it were for just that one specific pattern it would be possible, but I suspect the user input can be any number of varying combinations of math expressions, in which case trying to convert them to some other format needs a much more thought out approach.

Is there a way to evaluate an equation contained in a string within an AWK script?
For example:
A = "(5*2)-1" (this equation is read from a file and varies line by line)
In this example, I can't see any way to get an answer of 9 unless I do:
cmd = "awk 'BEGIN{print "A"}'"

fc-match
FC-MATCH(1) FC-MATCH(1)
NAME
fc-match - match available fonts
SYNOPSIS
fc-match [ -asvVh ] [ --all ] [ --sort ] [ --verbose ] [ [ -f format ] [ --format format ] ] [ --version ] [ --help ]
[ pattern [ element... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
fc-match matches pattern (empty pattern by default) using the normal fontconfig matching rules to find the best font available. If --sort
is given, the sorted list of best matching fonts is displayed. The --all option works like --sort except that no pruning is done on the
list of fonts.
If any elements are specified, only those are printed. Otherwise short file name, family, and style are printed, unless verbose output is
requested.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
-a Displays sorted list of best matching fonts, but do not do any pruning on the list.
-s Displays sorted list of best matching fonts.
-v Print verbose output of the whole font pattern for each match, or elements if any is provided.
-f Format output according to the format specifier format.
-V Show version of the program and exit.
-h Show summary of options.
pattern
Displays fonts matching pattern (uses empty pattern by default).
element
If set, the element property is displayed for matching fonts.
